we three kings - a free little song for you from soupablog

tonight when things slowed down a little, i set up an m-audio usb preamp/audio interface with the macbook pro and recorded me playing my new guitar. it's not perfect, but if you want a little paul soupiset recording for your epiphany, here ya go, free from soupablog (right-click the link to Save-As on your desktop):

advent ramblings. a soupablog podcast post.

played orderup last night.

amy snapped this with the phone at orderup.
that's me. large guy on small wooden stool.
that's my yamaha classical.

travailler c'est trop dur

resolved. i am learning how to sing travailler c'est trop dur.
phonetically. i don't know french, but i've loved this song since college,
and just googled for the lyrics, when i realized it referred to my hometown! i had no idea:

Tu connais, c'est loin d'un grand bout d' là, de Saint-Antoine à Beaumont
Mais le long du grand Texas, j' l'ai cherchée bien longtemps.

i also didn't realize how widely covered this song is. i'm in good company.
next time Deverter+Soupiset plays at Orderup, I'll try and debut this one.

Travailler, c'est trop dur, et voler, c'est pas beau.
D'mander la charité, c'est quéqu' chose j'peux pas faire.
